3. JUSTIFICATION
A.
What is the detailed description of the course including
differentiation from lower level courses, from similar courses
in
the same department, and from courses
in
other depo::tmentS
in
the University?
This course and Philosophy 478-5 are to replace the former Honors Tutorial 474-10. Some
students in the Department have found that taking 10 credit hours in one semester has pre-
cluded their taking other required or desired courses which are not repeated in the sub-
sequent semester and consequently they cannot fulfil all the requirements of the progra.
By dividing the Honors Tutorial into two blocks of units which cn be taken either concurrent::
or consecutively we can introduce a much-needed degree of flexibility into students'
planning of courses.
B.
What is the ranqe of topics that may be dealt with
in
the
course?
The same as that covered by the former Honors Tutorial 474-10.
